Thom Hartmann gave this talk as part of Yes! Magazine’s fourth annual celebration and fundraiser. He discussed current economic and political trends, as well as climate activism offering his advice for a stable future. Based on historical trends, Hartmann’s The Crash of 2016 suggests the way forward lies in shifting focus from a profit model to a moral one — otherwise, the next “great crash” could happen any day. Hartmann is a national and internationally syndicated radio host, political analyst, and author of 24 books, including The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight. The talk is followed by footage from Seattle's recent People's Climate March rally and features Socialist Alternative Jess Spear who is running for State Rep. in the 43rd District.
Thanks to Yes! Magazine and Seattle Town Hall
